ITV Saturday Night Takeaway fans convinced RuPaul dropped the 'F-bomb'

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway fans were convinced they had heard special guest RuPaul swear at the start of the show.

Ru, the host of the reality contest RuPaul's Drag Race, was a guest announcer during the first episode of the new series of the ITV entertainment show on Saturday night (February 19).

And viewers were shocked as they thought he had slipped up in while introducing the family show hosted by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

Ru said: "The wait is over. Yes it's Saturday, it's 7pm and we are live from the funky, funky television centre in London."

Martin asked: "Did RuPaul drop the f bomb live on ITV? #SaturdayNightTakeaway."

Anna McDonnelly added: "I’m sorry did RuPaul say the F bomb @antanddec @RuPaul #SaturdayNightTakeaway."
